CTE

Career Technical Education (CTE) is a state-wide program designed to ensure students are college and career ready when they graduate from high school. CCA offers seven pathways that build transferable professional skills through project-based learning aligned with industry standards and core content. Courses are sequenced so that students build on prior knowledge and work toward advanced coursework in their capstone class. Our pathways are designed with industry input, and focus on rigorous, relevant and real-world learning. By integrating innovative instruction, vertically aligned courses, and transferable professional skills, those who complete our pathways leave high school ready for their future in college and beyond.

Students can start a pathway in their freshmen, sophomore or junior year. To complete a pathway, students must pass at least two courses within the pathway, including the capstone. Some pathways offer additional enrichment courses for students who are looking to increase their skills or broaden their experience. The benefits of being in a pathway include:

CTE pathways help students connect their core academics with their personal interests, skills, and creativity. Our pathway students feel more connected to their academics, and are more driven and focused when they get to college and enter the workforce.
